Set Review ➟ LEGO® 75377 - Invisible hand
This ship was owned by General Grievous and we say was because it passed away like so many others in this universe that occupies us, the vast Star Wars universe. If you remember, this is the ship that Anakin was able to land badly damaged, literally split in two, on Coruscant after rescuing Senator Palpatine, who had been kidnapped, along with Obi-Wan. This set has 557 pieces, is rated 18+ and costs £52.99 and unfortunately doesn't come with any minifigures. Personally I think this is missing, they should have included one of General Grievous which by the way, is starting to cost more than 10€ at Bricklink.
As always we take a look at the contents. This time it includes 5 bags, the instruction manual and a very small sheet of stickers.
The construction starts with nothing remarkable until we come across a couple of nods that are fortunately indicated in the construction manual for those who find abstraction a bit more elusive :). Can you guess what those 1x1 round plates and the set of 3 pieces in reddish brown are?
It's Obi-Wan and Anakin after landing in the hangar and a MTT! Well, you can see that there are some very precise but accomplished details. The construction is nothing special except for these "big" details. Propulsion engines are attached and height is given as the ship is started from the back to the front. At the moment everything is being very square.
From now on, the torpedo shape characteristic of the ship is given. The black brackets seen earlier are used to place two parts of the torpedo shape on each side. In addition, the control platform is placed. Now we are starting to have the invisible hand in our hands. By the way, I didn't know this reference. An inverted 2x2 round tile :). It is used for the control tower.
Now it's time for the front. Nothing remarkable in its construction, plates and tiles upwards and covered with brackets. All very simple but the result is very good.
Next we come to a part that I particularly liked. Look at that structure full of upside down headlights and how well the curved slopes on its sides look.
A few more slopes on top and the "invisible hand" is ready. Note the location where the two parts so far constructed meet. The motivation for these is so that we can recreate the crash landing from the movie!
Well, all we need is the display stand and the model will be finished.
I confess that when I first saw this series of Star Wars sets they hardly caught my attention. My perception of this series of sets has totally changed with this set. These sets are just beautiful. The scale, the simple but very witty and accurate details make this model very desirable. In addition, the display stand with the small plate and the commemorative brick commemorating the 25th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars is something that every AFOL of this line is sure to take into account as it gives it a higher display value. We would like to thank LEGO for providing this set for this article, although LEGO does not endorse or support the opinions expressed in this article in any way.
